Towing capacity
Have a 2014 1/2 ton GMC Sierra with towing capacity of 9900 lbs. Fifth wheel weight is 7600 lbs. Is that enough truck to go on passes in Colorado?

LOL..the 1/2 ton weight cops are out in force.
I would wait till the OP gives us some real specs and then make a intelligent educated sounding answer rather than the usual no it can't do it.
^^^^^After the 2nd post, this is the most responsive and useful post.^^^^^
Thoughts, though...
1. OP needs to provide pin weight vs. payload
2. OP wants to know if the truck can "do it", not whether or not the truck can keep 65 MPH to the peak.
3. OP hasn't indicated his driving ability. Its possible that he might be well aware of how to descend a hill.
Observations.:
1. If the OP had an EcoBoost, the responses would be different :B
2. If the OP "asked" what 5er would work, the response would be less critical and negative, though likely to point him in the same direction he's already gone.
3. Hitch weight is virtually irrelevant if you use an Andersen UH.
4. Perhaps OP is well aware of all issues that are involved, but is just looking for first-hand experience for similar applications.
